Car dealership: grey 2024 Audi Q5 Progressiv in Java

The 2024 Audi Q5 Progressiv for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2024 Audi Q5 Progressiv for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2024 Audi Q5 Progressiv in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 20 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, service brakes and tires; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, paired with a 7-speed automatic, drives it. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The combined figure, 9.2 L/100 km, means roughly 28 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $14.26 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Q5

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

How big it is

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Rent it for a week first

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the Q5 on your commute, then decide.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.26 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $142.60 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
